2010
Friday nights!!
at The Royal British Legion, Blandford Forum
(See "How to find us")
Wessex Acoustic welcomes guests as well as members, but please note you all need to sign in as visitors to the Legion on the special Folk Club list which will be at the entrance to the function room. To facilitate the membership/guest licence arrangements it would be a big help if you book your tickets ahead, so we can prepare an advanced list of expected guests for the Legion, but you can also just turn up on the night without pre-booking.
MID_SUMMER SPECIAL 19th June
The club wishes to thank all our helpers on the night, Rod and Shirley,
Penny and Ian, who ran the bar so well for us,
and a special thanks to Andy Stone for the great sound and technical work.
Thanks to Roz too for being the 'legs' ferrying things back and forth, and doing the raffle.
A huge thank you to all our performers who made the night so special, Rod Jenkins, Cole Stacey, Mary Jane, Barron Brady, The Joyce Gang and our wonderful M.C. Nigel Waite.
Thank you to all who came, we hope you enjoyed the evening.
It's now our Summer break - we hope you'll enjoy all the Summer festivals
Get out and enjoy live music!
We'll be doing the rounds of folk festivals scouting for new folk stars to feature at our club or at Swanage Folk Festival
Our next club night is.....
September 17th - Jerry (The Smoky Mountain Gypsy) Harmon
£6 members £8 guests (booking details HERE)
JERRY HARMON is an authentic Appalachian musician and storyteller. Deep in the foothills of the Blue Ridge/Appalachian mountain chain in North Carolina, Jerry, the "Smoky Mountain Gypsy", was born into a family rich in the tradition of storytelling and music. His great-great-great grandfather, Council Harmon, was the first to introduce "Jack Tales" to America from England. These tales, the origin of Appalachian Mountain storytelling, have been faithfully passed down through the generations. Jerry weaves storytelling and music into his unique show.
This is a new venture for the club with some real Appalachian mountain music, something akin to Bluegrass style. Check out some of his music here.
